“We have worked hard to provide the global pump community with the most recent knowledge about pump functionality and leading-edge technologies that enhance pump efficiency to meet the sustainability agenda of societies and industries,” Alfa Laval product management manager Lars Sørensen says.
“Pumps are among the most power-consuming devices in fluid handling processes and the potential for energy savings is big when you select the right pump from the start and maintain it along the way.”

The first edition of the Alfa Laval Pump Handbook was published 25 years ago and since then, it has found its way onto work sites, serving as a reference work to technicians in the daily operation of fluid handling processes.
